I have a friend on another Linux list that won't shut up about them. But honestly I don't get it. If it were really an inexpensive option, then yes it'd be rather interesting. But you can get a "real" laptop for <$400 these days. If they were really the initially advertised $200 then it'd be interesting, but as most are pushing $400 or more I really don't see the point.<br>
<br>I do think there's a market for something like this if they can put a decent size screen on it and give at least 4GB for the OS and still keep it around $200. But so far nothing I've seen comes close.<br><br>

There is supposedly going to be a new version of it with a larger<br>screen. Go to <a href="http://engadget.com" target="_blank">engadget.com</a>, and do a search for it. They've done like a<br>million articles about it, so, good luck finding anything. :)<br>
<br>There's a couple of similar laptops also. None of them looks "perfect" yet.<br><font color="#888888"><br>-dc<br></font><div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"><br>James Shoemaker wrote:<br>> Is anyone else strangely drawn to the eee PC? It seems to be a<br>
